Top 20 Books of 2011

As I have done each of the past few years (2009 and 2010), here is my list of the best books I read this calendar year. My only qualification for this list is that I had to complete the entire book somewhere between January 1 and December 31, 2011. The book didn’t have to be published in 2011, I just had to read it in 2011. For this list I am excluding my book, Love Is an Orientation, and my new DVD Curriculum, as well as the Bible, because I’m a tad biased towards each

This year I read 50 books, totaling 11,351 pages (those are both personal records)

With no further delay, here are the Top 20 Books I read this year (note that there are still a number of books that were published in 2011 that are on my to-read pile, and by no means am I fully read in the fields listed or beyond):
